Pontypridd is known for its characterful terraced homes and historic buildings. However, if your property was built or renovated before 2000, there’s a real chance it could contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)—posing potential risks during renovation, repair, or even everyday maintenance.
Why Pontypridd Homes Are at Risk
Mining and industrial heritage: Many homes were built or updated during the height of asbestos use in the 1960s–1980s.
Frequent refurbishments: Older properties have often been modernised, sometimes disturbing or concealing existing asbestos.
Diverse housing stock: From converted coal houses to Victorian terraces, asbestos can be present in a wide range of property types.
Common Asbestos Hotspots in Pontypridd Properties
At Breathe Environmental Services, we frequently find asbestos in:
Cement roofing and guttering (especially on coal houses, sheds, and garages)
Partition walls and ceilings (Asbestos Insulating Board, or AIB)
Textured coatings (Artex) on ceilings and walls
Old floor tiles and vinyl flooring
Pipe lagging and water tanks (often in basements or lofts)
Shared walls in terraced houses
What Should Pontypridd Homeowners Do?
Don’t disturb suspicious materials—asbestos is most dangerous when damaged or moved.
Book a professional asbestos survey before starting any renovation, repair, or before buying or selling a property.
Act quickly if you’re a landlord or property manager—an up-to-date survey protects tenants and ensures legal compliance.
